168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yu-Gi-Oh! has been around for over twenty years at this point, having a surprising amount of staying power compared to many of its contemporaries that launched around the same time, 𓃲with a few exceptions, of course.
Like many other well-known series, Yu-Gi-Oh! has been parodied or referenced in many forms of media, including movies, shows, other anime series, and even video games. In video games, in particular, these references can be either the type where if you blink, you'll miss it, or they'll be extremely obvious, not being open to question or debate purely because of how obvious they are.
8 🍌 Danganronpa V3
In Danganronpa V3, the third mainline entry of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Danganronpa series, the character Kokichi Oma references Yu-Gi-Oh! in one of his free time events, challenging the protagonist Shuichi to a game and saying, "Then you gotta play a Shadow Game! It's time to du-du-du-du-du-du-du-duel!"
This line is a reference to the English Dub of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters or Yu-Gi-Oh! Classic anime series, as "It's time to duel!" was one of its taglines, and Yami Yugi says it in the dub's opening theme in the same way Kokichi does. Koichi also references Kaiji, another popular manga and anime series about playing games, specifically those that involve gambling.
7 💧 Splatoon 3 Tableturf Battle
While not necessarily a direct reference, it has been suggested that the Tableturf Battle card game from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Splatoon 3 may have been inspired by and be a reference to Dungeon Dice Monsters, a dice and movement game based on Duel Monsters that had a few manga chapters and anime e꧒pisodes dedicated to it in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters series, one video game, and a short-lived re💖al-life version.
While Tableturf Wars 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:doesn't use dice, it still has some similar mechanics to Dungeon Dice Monsters, as each card has🐎 an ink grid that takes up a select number of squares, similar to how monsters do the same when summoned in Dungeon Dice Monster🍸s.
6 Phoenix Wright Ace 🌸Attorney
The first game in the humorous and beloved 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ace Attorney series has an elderly character named Yanni Yogi, likely named after Yami Yugi. He is also similar to those two characters in that he seems to have two personalities, a senile aꦰnd friendly one and a more serious and resentful one, which is revealed to be his true personality.
Other than his demeanor changing, Yanni Yogi shares no similarities with Yugi Muto or Yami Yugi in terms of appearance, having more in common with and being closer in age to Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Muto, also known as Sugoroku Mutou in the original manga.
5 ♒ Bayonetta 2
A significant character in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta 2 has some suspicious similarities to characters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh♔! Duel Monsters manga and anime series. Like Yugi and Yami Yugi, Loki uses a deck of cards as his weapon, specifically tarot cards, instead of Duel Monstಞers. He also wears a similar upside-down triangular pendant around his neck connected to a gold chain.
Loki's evil half, known as Loptr, also clashes with him, similar to how Marik and Yami Marik clash after the latter has reawakened and taken over the former's body. After ridding himself of his good personality, Loptr reforms into Aesir, the god of chaos.
4 Bꦑug Fables 💜
The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Paper Mario-inspired 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bug Fables168澳洲幸运5开奖网:: The Everlasting Sapling has a few characters participating in the Spy Card tournament on Metal Island with looks and personalities inspired by select characters from the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters series. There's Bu-Gi, based on Yugi Muto, Ritchee, based on Seto Kaiba, Kage, based on Bandit Keith; and Serene, based on Serenity Wheeler.
Serene is the most interesting in that she is based on a character who dueled once, and poorly, in the anime and didn't duel at all in the manga. Having a character inspired by her rather than her older brother Joey or a more involved female character like Tea Gardner or Mai Valentine is an odd choice.
3 Yakuza 0
In the English localized version of Yakuza 0, when Kiryu encounters the Finance King in his office after defeating his hitmen, the Finance King says, "The money I made is MINE!!! Nobody can ta✱ke it from me! The police!? Who cares? Screw the ﷺrules, I have money!"
The latter part of this quote is not from Yu-Gi-Oh! itself, but Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, a popular ongoing parody of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime series that started a wave of similar series on YouTube. In The Abridged Series, it happens to be Seto Kaiba's catchphrase since he is obscenely wealthy, after all.
2 World of Warcraft Dr🅰agonflight Characters
The Dragonflight expansion for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:World of Warcraft has The Heart of The Deck quest,✃ which features Setogosa, a female Night Elf inspired by Seto Kaiba, and Yumadoru, a Gnome not only inspired by Yugi but also inspired by Yuma Tsukumo from Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal na꧅me-wise.
Setogosa takes Yumadoru's deck and refuses to give it back, throwing it into a river when you try to step in. This is a direct reference to when Weevil Underwood throws Yugi's Exodia cards into the ocean while on the boat 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to Duelist Kingdom. Another related quest involving the characters is called White Eyes, Blue Dragon, as a reference to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
1 I🔯nscryption
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Inscryption references a handful of other games, so having a Yu-Gi-Oh! reference, while surprising, isn't completely unexpected, but its implementation is. You're given a Duel Disk during the Finale, with Magnificus even calling it such. You then must play against him in a 400 Life Point duel, referencing the 4000 Life Points used in various Yu-Gi-Oh! series.
In Finale II, there are also the four Edaxio Sigils, the head, torso, arms, and legs of Edaxio. Having a꧅ll four together will then summon Edaxio. This is similar to the effect of Exodia The Forbidden One, with Edaxio being an anagram of the name.
